There’s a Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On

How did we build our beliefs? If we built them on untruth, on made-up stuff, they self-destruct when God exposes them to light. In a moment, they implode unless we block the light. So we sometimes fight the light since we don’t like our world shaken this way. In these moments of unveiling revelation, we weren’t aware of any problem with our made-up stuff, and we didn’t particularly want it fixed. We didn’t think our made-up stuff was made-up stuff. However, when we opened our minds to God’s leading, He began to demolish the strongholds in our minds. He began shaking everything built on made-up stuff. If we walk in the Spirit, we experience this shaking. If we walk in the Spirit, God shakes us sometimes since God is shaking made-up stuff that can be shaken so realities that can’t be shaken remain. There’s a whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on.

Shutting Down Conversations

Posted on by

<quote>

Scripture-deniers often shut down the discussion by insisting, without proof, that Scripture lacks authority. They might say, “This conversation is over if you insist that the Bible is authoritative.” They may bring up many objections against the Bible without basing any of those objections on a true premise without any assumptions or presuppositions. Alternately, they may say, “You can’t quote Scripture since I don’t believe in the Bible.” Or they may say, “I don’t need to have a reason for rejecting Scripture since you have the burden of proof.” Such conversation-stoppers use many fallacious excuses against Scripture while accepting other sources as authoritative without rational reasons for the double standard. Christians need to know why the Bible is authoritative. Everyone is responsible to reason from true premises without using any fallacies.

Debate

If we recognize a legitimate authority, is that wrong? If we know something with enough certainty to end debate, is that wrong?

By the way, Jesus Christ is the only legitimate authority, and He does set some into places of authority but only as they yield to Him and allow Him to say His words and do His acts through them.

Fundamentalist!

<quote>

“Fundamentalist” is a word coined initially by Christians who, by listing the fundamental doctrines that all Christians believe, were trying to unify Christianity. However, ungodly thinkers hijacked this word and gave it a negative meaning. They changed it to mean “a violent or opinionated person who’s irrational,” but Christians didn’t originally define it like that.

Real Faith Lets Us See Real Reality

Posted on by

<quote>

If we have to start our reasoning with assumptions or presuppositions, we can never go beyond opinions. Our reasoning will never be stronger than our assumptions. Since assumptions are unknowns, where does that leave us?

However, the real faith takes us beyond assumptions and presuppositions to substance, truth, and absolute proof. The real faith is able to do this because it comes from the utterance of God. This is the same utterance by which God brought the universe into existence. The wonder is that we can have this assurance and certainty right now. With that knowledge, we can reason rationally. We can have sound reasoning. We can know the truth and the truth will set us free.

True Premises and Sound Reasoning

Without true premises, our reasoning isn’t sound. With inductive reasoning, we can only speak of probabilities. With true premises and valid deductive reasoning, we can advance to the knowledge of the truth. We can’t know everything, but we can know some things with certainty.
